The impact of female board membership and firm performance on the environmental management system

This paper examines the effect of gender diversity on the Environmental Management Systems (EMS) measured as ISO 14001 adoption among Saudi-listed companies. In this study, we propose that female board members significantly influence EMS adoption by employing agency theory, stakeholder theory and resource dependency theory to predict the relationship. The final sample of this study consists of 44 firm-year observations for non-financial companies listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange with ISO 14001 certification from 2016 to 2019. The logistic regression results show that higher representation of women on boards is associated with more extensive use of EMS indicating the importance of gender diversity in enhancing corporate environmental responsibility. Moreover, companies with better financial performance are less likely to adopt comprehensive ecological management practices. This paper contributes to the existing body of knowledge by revealing how board diversity is related to financial performance and environment management systems among firms operating in emerging markets. These findings have policy implications for policymakers, business leaders and researchers engaged in sustainable development initiatives to enhance governance mechanisms.

Bank financial sustainability evaluation: Data envelopment analysis with random forest and Shapley additive explanations

Ensuring financial sustainability is imperative for a financial institution's overall stability. To mitigate the risk of bank failure amid financial crises, effective management of financial sustainability performance becomes paramount. This study introduces a comprehensive framework for the accurate and efficient quantification, indexing, and evaluation of financial sustainability within the American banking industry. Our approach begins by conceptualizing financial sustainability as a multi-stage, multifactor structure. We construct a composite index through a three-stage network data envelopment analysis (DEA) and subsequently develop a random forest classification model to predict financial sustainability outcomes. The classification model attains an average testing recall rate of 84.34 %. Additionally, we employ SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to scrutinize the impacts of contextual variables on financial sustainability performance across various substages and the overall banking process, as well as to improve the interpretability and transparency of the classification results. SHAP results reveal the significance and effects of contextual variables, and noteworthy differences in contextual impacts emerge among different banking substages. Specifically, loans and leases, interest income, total liabilities, total assets, and market capitalization positively contribute to the deposit stage; revenue to assets positively influences the loan stage; and revenue per share positively affects the profitability stage. This study serves the managerial objective of assisting banks in capturing financial sustainability and identifying potential sources of unsustainability. By unveiling the “black box” of financial sustainability and deciphering its internal dynamics and interactions, banks can enhance their ability to monitor and control financial sustainability performance more effectively.

Agility and Resilience in Supply Chains: Investigating Their Roles in Enhancing Financial Performance

Business sectors face disruptive challenges such as cash flow problems in finance and material flow problems in supply chain and logistics processes in today’s rapidly evolving and uncertain environment. Given these challenges, effective management of resource and material flows by managers has become increasingly complex. Supply chain management is crucial for businesses to sustain competitive market positioning. This study distinctively explores the interplay between supply chain management and the financial performance of manufacturing companies, highlighting the increasingly dynamic and competitive global markets. It scrutinizes the moderating roles of supply chain agility and flexibility in this relationship, offering diverse analytical perspectives. The research methodology involved surveying white-collar employees within these companies. Factor analysis was employed to affirm the scale’s validity, and the Hayes model 3 method was utilized to test hypotheses. Our research uncovered intricate interactions between supply chain management, agility, and resilience, underscoring their collective impact on financial performance. The thesis that supply chain management has a substantial impact on financial performance was corroborated by the study’s results. The study also emphasizes the moderating impact of supply chain agility in the relationship between financial performance and supply chain management. The results of the study that supply chain resilience moderates the moderating effect of supply chain agility indicate that the interaction between supply chain resilience and supply chain agility may affect the relationship between supply chain management and financial performance if supply chain resilience enhances the resilience of organizations to external challenges. These insights suggest organizations must integrate agility, management, and resilience considerations in their supply chains to optimize performance. This study contributes a novel viewpoint to the literature, providing strategic guidance for managerial decision making.

Financing a push and pull supply chain under revenue sharing: value addition and default risk transmission mechanism

Supply chain finance (SCF) releases participants' capital constraints and facilitates their operations. SCF and transactional contracts can have synchronised effects on participants' performance. This research analyses how credit financing and bank loans with revenue-sharing contracts can help capital-constrained suppliers and retailers improve their financial and risk management performance in the push and pull supply chains. Results suggest that SCF generates greater profits than capital-constrained supply chains without SCF and well-capitalised supply chains, demonstrating a leverage effect. In a push scenario, SCF enhances the wholesale price effect and risk-sharing effect of the revenue-sharing contract, resulting in increased order quantity and profits for participants, albeit with an amplified default risk transmission effect. Conversely, in a pull scenario, SCF boosts participant profitability by strengthening the order quantity effect of the wholesale price contract, although its risk-sharing effect is weakened by the revenue-sharing contract, thereby mitigating the default risk transmission effect. When the revenue-sharing rate is low, the push model performs better in terms of profit enhancement but exhibits higher default risk transmission levels compared to the pull model, and vice versa. The findings guide participants in leveraging SCF and revenue-sharing contracts to enhance their benefits and control the default risk transmission level.
